Dolce Gabbana Fall 2013

I like the regal feel of this collection, I want to try and cretae this in my own work maybe bringing  in the gold using foil prints.

Visual research

I have started drawing so I can start making them into motifs to take further and explore in digital and screen print.

Figure Drawings

Visual Research

Here are my own images of the Cathedral on my road. I am so lucky to have this right on my doorstep and I continuously take it for granted. I took pictures of certain features and patterns I could use in my own prints.

Written Brief

BRIEF

I am aiming to create a series of prints using digital print. I will try to create a series of sample prints for a fashion collection, I am going to create a range of high end graphic silk t-shirts, these will be displayed in a series of flats alongside digital fabric and paper samples.

The visual research I will undertake will be primary research in the form of photography, drawing and also market research. I am planning to explore typography looking into the idea of religion, ie figures, religious buildings, features and writings. I have been looking into current trends , these have included digital montages and the idea of defacing features. I am going to combine both of these ideas in my project. 

I am going to research heavily at the start of project experimenting with a range of primary visual research so I am not limited with my range of prints and outcomes. I am going to draw from observation so I have a range of motifs I can take into photoshop and illustrator advancing and further the skills I have previously learnt.

I am going to  work with techniques I learnt from workshops in the last project and further develop them in this brief.

I want to create a fashion collection for woman age range 25-35. Women of the working profession who can afford to spend a bit more on quality garments. I am going to create a range of designer t-shirts for the high end market. (t-shirt range) They are going to be silk t-shirts, (see Prabal Gurung t-shirt range). I have been inspired by Aquilano Rimondi's Spring 2014 collection. I like the vibrancy in the print and the graphic montage incorporated alongside the more traditional images. 

I am going to do the Bradford textiles live brief. Working with a digital print for fashion. Working with a garment in mind creating fashion illustrations to display my print . I am going to work under pressure giving myself limited time . I have also undertaken a placement during this project so I am going to produce a report on this, alongside evidence of emails corresponding with companies regarding future internships.

Religion

These are a few images I found in my research of things I want to combine in my project.

Locating

For this project we have to choose our own brief,  after a lot of research I have decided to look at religion, looking at baroque art which are present in religious buildings, also looking at features, pattern and detail present. I'm going to also look at religious figures and also typography which is evident in writings and scriptures. I want to take traditional features of the theme and combine them with graphic montages with bold colours and shapes as seen in new trends.
